What part of the middle of nowhere is this place? I know that some California State jobs pay 3500/month.

Prison Job
I guess it depends....
Did you feel safe there? Are you out of the loop and protected?
Could you live on that salary?
At your age, I would think a job with the state would be good job security, most likely if it faded out they would put you on something else and they usually have great benefits and perks to being an employee. I liked the idea of the poster below on holding off on selling your home and maybe renting a room or something there to see if you actually like the job before taking on such a big step. If it ends up not being for you, you still have your home and there are plenty of jobs out there! Write out the pros and cons on a sheet of paper and weigh your options. Good luck to you! Follow your heart more than your head to be truly happy. :)
The prison's employees
Pardon my ignorance. I'm still confused. What does the prison system have to do with transcription? Why would the prison system hire transcriptionists to work in a facility as a transcriptionist??
No way would I work at a prison
No amount of $$$ is worth working in a prison.
Has anyone worked for state prison?
Am aware of a state prison hiring MTs. Wondering what type of pre employment testing is required.
Thanks!
a lot of them leave prison and go to halfway
Was he up on state or federal charges, because they are different. When my ex got out he had to go to a halfway house first for 6 months and was under house arrest for 2 years and parole for 5. Parole is very serious too. Good luck on this.
Talk about debtors prison...
Who would have ever thought in this great country you would not be able to work unless you, well, do not need to work...
Anyway, in my searches for a way to make more money I came across this information.

This really appealed to me only I would never pass the credit check but I thought I would pass it on...If anyone is interested in still working at home but perhaps getting out of MT, or even supplementing your income this seems like such a great job -
Ever wonder when you call and order a product over the phone and it is some type of a call center how the people get these jobs? This explains how you can get those jobs and it sounds like an interesting field to work in...
Unfortunately, the credit check is pretty extensive and you need a very high credit score to qualify for a job but anyone out there with a nice phone voice who likes to work at home but is not making enough money with MT, perhaps you should check this out...
Me too, but also looking forward to 24 and that prison show sounds

Prison systems in this state use in-house MTs, I am almost certain of.

the prison transcription thing was squashed before it even got started = sm
At least it was in Florida. Once it made the news, I think people were quick to call around and make sure that it never took off. I, for one, am thankful for that.
Let's face it, if you are a Transcriptionist typing for a service at home, you can have access to all sorts of medical information. Take for instance celebrities. Think about this - what if a celebrity went into the hospital for "rest" according to their publicist. And a transcriptionist typing for that particular hospital through a transcription service transcribes the records on this particular celebrity, and certain information was dictated, i.e. "patient drinks 5 alcoholic beverages a day. Patient needs to start her day with such and such a drug." I could go on and on. Do you realize what a transcriptionist could do with that kind of information - sell it to the tabloids, call up People magazine, get Victoria Gotti on the phone ... blah blah blah $ $ $
Think about it. It can happen.
A lot of mail order folks you talk to are in prison.

what state does she live in? Was she prosecuted and sent to prison or just held in jail?
